In these chapters, Jesus is pulling back the curtains and helping us see why temptation in this life seems (is) so super-charged and ever-present. It's not just the sin within us that makes us so prone to walking away from God. It's also forces much,...

Revelation 12 is a fast-forward summary of God's plan of rescuing his world and how the Devil has opposed him at every point. The devil's opposition has a laser, remarkably disciplined focus to it. It is focused on undermining the faith and confidence...
